However, I do have trouble breaking unwanted relations, especially with friends or boys because I don’t want to hurt anyones feelings, even if they are not a good friend or mean. I do however, make friends easily and are open and talkative.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4) Is your personality assessment accurate? Why or why not? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Yes, my personality is accurate because I believe I am all of the above, like a mix of both. I have different parts of each personality type. For example I am outgoing and adapt easily like an extrovert. I am interested in everything new and unusual, like intuitive personalities.I am interested in other peoples thoughts and feelings a majority of the time, like feelings personalities. And I do not like to leave unanswered questions, like judging personalities.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I disagree with the extrovert personality traits the most, mainly because sometimes I have trouble saying how I feel and sometimes I prefer solitude over action.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">6) Which parts are most accurate to you? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Easily adaptable. Concerned about feelings of others. Evaluate things by ethics good or bad.
